shRNA Lentivirus (self-inactivating), pU6-(DHX8-shRNA-Seq3)(CAT#: LV-SI0027WQ)

This product is a DHX8-shRNA encoding Lentivirus, which is based on HIV-1 serotype. The protein encoded by DHX8 gene contains the DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) motif which is characteristic of all DEAH box proteins, and is thought to function as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that regulates the release of spliced mRNAs from spliceosomes prior to their export from the nucleus.The expression of DHX8-shRNA leads to target gene silencing and this product can be used in gene therapy research and development.
